Curiosity's Inferno: A Journey to Redemption

Bookmark
2 Points

You and your sibling, Alex, couldn't believe your luck when you stumbled upon that strangely alluring crystal in the woods. Its glow was almost hypnotic, and out of sheer curiosity, the two of you decided to touch it.

The air seemed to crackle and warp around you, and before you knew it, a swirling portal opened up right in front of your eyes. Unable to resist, you both stepped through, landing in a place that could only be described as Hell itself. Directly in front of you stood an elaborate, seven-story building—The Hazbin Hotel, as the garish neon signs proclaimed.

Taking a deep breath, you and Alex gripped each other's hands and walked in through the double doors, hearts racing faster than ever before. The lobby was as luxurious as it was bizarre, colorful and somewhat eerie, filled with blood-red hues and an unsettling array of painted eyes that seemed to follow you wherever you went.

“Wow, this place is... something else,” you whispered to Alex, your voice tinged with awe and a bit of nervousness.

“No kidding. Think anyone would mind if we took some of this?” Alex gestured to a table laden with food and drink.

Your stomach growled in response. “I don’t think so. It looks like a buffet.”

Alex hesitated but finally nodded. You both approached the table and filled your plates, the hunger overpowering your better judgment. Once satisfied, you quickly decided to avoid any potential confrontation and slipped into the shadows of the gargantuan hotel.

For the next few days, you managed to stay unseen, either by sheer luck or because the eccentric demons who inhabited the hotel were too distracted with their own lives. That didn't stop you from feeling guilty about the food, though.

“What’s the big deal? It’s just food,” you muttered, though Alex remained doubtful.

“I don’t know,” Alex replied, worriedly glancing around. “What if we’re eating someone’s lunch?”

In the end, none of the demons seemed to notice anything was amiss, at least not initially. However, the need for food and other comforts pushed you both to take more risks. You soon discovered one of the hotel’s restrooms, its lavish decor a stark contrast to the foul odor that sometimes emanated from it.

“Man, it stinks in here,” Alex grimaced as you both entered the restroom.

“Not any worse than some public bathrooms back home,” you shrugged.

Relieving yourselves and hoping to avoid detection, you cleaned up quickly, but the lingering stench seemed only to amplify the demons' irritation when they smelled it later.

“Who the fuck left this place like a goddamn sewer?” a voice rang out. You recognized it from earlier snatches of conversation—it was Angel Dust. Alex smirked as you both hid, barely holding back laughter.

“Nasty bastards,” Husk grumbled, clearly disgusted.

Days passed like this, the uncertainty of your safety balanced by the thrill of being somewhere wholly otherworldly. But your luck would soon wear thin. One day, Niffty, the quick-eyed cyclops, darted into the room you were hiding in. She spotted you instantly and grinned from ear to ear.

“Humans! Oh my goodness, everyone has to see this!” she squealed before running off.

“Uh oh, we’re in deep trouble now,” Alex whispered, eyes wide with fear.

And like a wildfire, word of your presence spread through the hotel. Within hours, you were both surrounded by every demon you had overheard complaining just days prior. Charlie looked confused but concerned. Vaggie, Angel Dust, and Husk, however, wore expressions of profound irritation.

“So, you’re the little shits who’ve been eating our food and stinking up the place,” Angel Dust spat, venom lacing his words.

“We didn’t mean any harm,” you stammered, raising your hands in a feeble gesture of peace.

“I fucking hate trespassers,” Vaggie hissed, her eyes narrowing.

Before you could react, Alastor stepped forward, his face showing a manic grin. “Well now, this is interesting,” he said smoothly, licking his lips in a way that made your blood run cold.

With a wave of his hand, dark magic formed, engulfing you and Alex. Screams filled the air as the agony of your end enveloped you, Alastor’s laughter echoing hauntingly in your mind as the world faded to black.

When you opened your eyes again, you found yourselves in a nightmarish version of Pentagram City, your bodies now transformed into sinner demons. The reality of it crushed down on you—this was your new life. As the shock wore off, a singular thought formed in your mind.

“We need to get back to the Hazbin Hotel,” you told Alex, determination hardening your voice.

“Yeah, we can try to get redeemed,” Alex agreed, hope flickering in his eyes.

Returning to the hotel with newfound purpose, Charlie greeted you with warmth rather than surprise. “Welcome. Are you ready to redeem yourselves?” she asked with a genuine smile.

You nodded, and so began your journey in the hopes of someday making it to Heaven as saint angels. You now navigate this twisted, infernal world, hoping for redemption, your every action weighed against the price of your curiosity.

Prompt: Write the POV story of two humans (one who is the reader and the other who is his/her friend or sibling), who finds an Asmodean Crystal (which Blitzo (an imp from an adults cartoon/animated series Helluva Boss) accidentally dropped one of them during his mission with the other crewmembers of I.M.P. including Moxxie, Millie, and Loona) and both humans decided, out of innocent curiosity, to test out the Asmodean Crystal to see what happens. The portal to Hell then opens to reveals the entrance to the Hazbin Hotel (from the namesake adults cartoon/animated series "Hazbin Hotel"), and both humans (with no ill intent and with pure curiosity) enter the portal and into Hell before they both go through the hotel's entrance doors and enter inside the Hazbin Hotel without the hotel's staff or guests/clients/patrons knowing. Here is what the hotel looks like; The Hazbin Hotel exterior is a tall, elaborate amalgamation of arched windows and turrets, one of which seems to be broken. It appears to be at least seven stories tall, with at least five of which being guest floors. Remnants of an airship, an ocean liner, a sailing ship and a carousel litter both sides and appear to have been incorporated into the structure of the building itself; there is also a train with some tracks looping the first and second floor exterior. Located on the top right of the building is a small radio broadcasting room, which is used as the work area for Alastor. Many signs are displayed outside the hotel: One atop the entrance reminiscent of the Hazbin Hotel logo, a large pink one atop the building with the hotel's name in lights, a neon 'HOTEL' sign at the bottom right and atop the building where Alastor's broadcast room is located, a small 'On-Air' sign is visible. Also located on the outer facade are various arrows pointing to the entrance and the broadcast room. The entrance has a tented cover with a booth in the center reminiscent of a circus or theater ticket booth. On either side of the booth are a set of double doors that have stained glass; in the pilot, they once depicted an apple on each one but were destroyed by an explosion due to Sir Pentious blowing up the doors with his airship (prior to Sir Pentious changing ways to become a nicer person before redeeming himself and becoming a saint angel (after his willing sacrifice against the series' main antagonist Adam (the exorcist angel) just before Adam is defeated by Lucifer Morningstar and killed by Niffty) in the season 1's finale episode "The Show Must Go On"). The hotel's interior (prior to this story) was shown to be in a state of disrepair, with wooden boards covering shattered windows, signs warning of asbestos, bloodied tools left lying around, and paintings are shown hanging off the walls (however, just after the season 1's finale episode "The Show Must Go On", these have been fixed after the hotel was rebuilt by Charlie's father Lucifer Morningstar). Much of the furniture in the lobby are strewn around haphazardly or remain boxed up in several large wooden crates. The bar uses skeletons, snakes, and bones as general themes, along with card suits and candles, and advertises itself as a casino. The area the bar in has glowing green wooden walls instead of the usual red wallpaper, with a "Jackpot" sign on the left wall and a Beelzejuice neon sign on the right wall. The word "concierge" can be presumed to be shown above the bar, and Alastor calls it the front desk when talking to Husk, suggesting that it is also the check-in counter. Despite the shabby and poor condition of the hotel, the overall theme of the building remains ornate and regal, with stained glass windows, lavish furniture, and generous usage of gold. Like the rest of Hell, the hotel has a largely red color scheme. There are many apple, snake and circus motifs throughout the hotel's interior, in reference to Charlie Morningstar's royal family, or more specifically, Lucifer Morningstar. Eyes are also a recurring theme throughout the building, appearing on the frame of almost every single painting and several vases and jars. The room the two women (Charlie Morningstar and Vaggie) share is rather large, with a regal look and a large bed, and has a window with a view of Pentagram City. Angel Dust's room has striped wallpaper, a vanity, mirrors, a place to put his wigs, and a bed with several pillows of various design, while beside it is a small bed for Fat Nuggets shaped like a pink heart with a small pillow on top, and with both beds on a single platform with neon lights. The wall behind the bed has photos of him, Cherri, and Fat Nuggets, as well as a couple of his film posters, while the bedside wall has neon lights shaped like webs. The door to his room has neon lights shaped like webs with hearts, and has three photos of him and his friends, and Fat Nuggets. Alastor's room has a mixture between both traditional décor and the fantastical, with one half being a classic "fancy study", complete with tasteful wallpaper and furnishings, the other half being a literal swamp conjured as a dining area. Sir Pentious' room (prior to Sir Pentious' death and sacrifice in the season 1's finale episode "The Show Must Go On") shared his (Sir Pentious') airship's steampunk aesthetics of golden cogs and gears and a red and black color scheme, while his bed was a circular mattress lined with pillows; this room is now currently vacant due to Sir Pentious' invented sacrifice. After going through the hotel's doors, both of the humans (the reader and his/her friend or sibling) find themselves in the hotel's lounge room before finding the food and drinks on the table and consumes some of the food (they both wrongly believes no one will mind this, wrongly believing that the food are for everyone to eat and drink, although the reader's friend/sibling is initially concerned about it being someone else's food before the reader tells his/her friend or sibling that this table may be a buffet table hence why there's so much food, so the reader's friend or sibling is no longer worried), since both of the humans are hungry and thirsty (because they have not eaten for a day, so they need food and something to drink). The human duo then go into hiding within the hotel to avoid being discovered by Charlie Morningstar (founder of the Hazbin Hotel who is the daughter of King Lucifer Morningstar and Queen Lilith Morningstar, and was born in Hell, hence her status as a hellborn demon), Vaggie (lesbian manager of the Hazbin Hotel and Charlie's girlfriend (Vaggie sometimes swears/cusses), formerly an heavenborn exorcist angel but was banished by Lute to Hell for refusing to kill a sinner demon), Angel Dust (a tall and gay spider-like sinner demon (formerly a human but succumbed to an overdose sometime in his early 30s in 1947 and arrived in Hell as a sinner demon), an adult entertainer (he even swears/cusses), and the first volunteer for Charlie's Hazbin Hotel (which is a rehabilitation program)), Alastor (an eccentric sinner demon (who was once a human, but died in 1933 due to a dog-related incident), and one of the overlords of Hell), Husk (an ill-tempered, gambling, alcoholic cat-like sinner demon (he even swears/cusses), who was once a human, but he died in the 1970s after being ambushed with his platoon, captured, tortured, beaten, and possibly from alcohol overdose, and he arrives in Hell as a sinner demon), Niffty (a small, hyperactive cyclops-like sinner demon who was once a human woman from the 1950s before her death and arriving in Hell as a sinner demon), Razzle (a small and winged goat-like demon who serve as Charlie's bodyguard), Fat Nuggets (Angel Dust's demonic pet pig), or KeeKee (Charlie's pet demonic mouthless cyclops cat); none of the demons know who really ate the food minutes, so either Vaggie, Angel Dust, or Husk gets really angry about their food getting eaten (the human doesn't mean to upset anyone, since he/she didn't know the food belonged to the hotel's demons). This makes both of the humans quietly snicker out in amusement (they both find the demons' complaints about the stolen food and drinks kinda funny, even if the human duo feel guilty). The human duo then feel like they have to pee/poop, so they both then use one of the hotel's restrooms to get rid of their pee and poop, while they also do not get caught by the demons; the demons (mainly Vaggie, Angel Dust, and Husk, but Niffty also is grossed out by the smell) smell the nasty odor, which the human duo don't find too bad unlike the demons, and just like how these demons complained about their food and drinks being eaten earlier, these demons complain about that awful smell coming from the restroom (despite the human duo having already flushed the toilet, the smell still lingers, but the smell is not too terrible (and not that different from Earth and is identical to the smell back on Earth) to the human duo unlike to the demons, which to the demons smells very bad), while these demons do not know it was the human duo who made that smell. This also makes both of the humans quietly snicker out in amusement (they find the demons' complaints about the bathroom's smell kinda funny, even if both the humans feel guilty). However, while both of the humans' secrecy in the Hazbin Hotel have lasted for a long while (either for several days or weeks, despite causing the restroom's smell and the food and drinks being consumed by both of the humans themselves), are then (much to their horror) discovered by one of the Hazbin Hotel's occupants, discovered by either Niffty (who would then smile/grin and scream out of excitement before running off to let the other demons know about the humans being in the hotel), or Razzle (who is completely silent, but will still let the other demons know even without speech), or one of the hotel's pets (Fat Nuggets or KeeKee), leading to rumors of the humans inhabiting the hotel among the demons. Sadly and eventually (either hours or days later after the first demon finds both of the humans), the humans, much to their horror, are found by another demon, who yells/tells other demons about their presence to let them about it. The demons then surround both of the humans (with Charlie Morningstar being confused while Vaggie, Angel Dust, and Husk being unhappy with the human duo eating their food and stinking up the restroom, whilst also just as confused about the humans being in Hell, just as all other demons being confused about the humans being in Hell, since no human has ever visited or lived in Hell) before one of the demons (most likely Alastor, who enjoys chaos such as this) brutally kills both of the humans (blood and gore involved) either through black magic (using dark magic) or cannibalism (shredding the human duo with his teeth and devouring/eating the human duo). After both of the humans' death, the human duo then manifests in Pentagram City (located in the Pride Ring of Hell) as sinner demons (confirming that they had both died, hence why they are no longer mortal) due to their sinful trespassing into the Hazbin Hotel. Later, both the sinner demon duo (formerly the human reader and his/her friend or sibling) want to be rehabilitated (in short, redeemed) so they both could hopefully one day be accepted by Heaven and manifest in Heaven as saint angels (which are unlike heavenborn angels, which were always born angels, the saint angels were once humans before they died), so the sinner demon duo (formerly the human duo) enter the Hazbin Hotel (now with purpose) and are welcomed by Charlie Morningstar, and the sinner demon duo (formerly the human duo) start trying to redeem themselves and socialize with the Hazbin Hotel's other clients/patrons in a healthy/positive and non-sinful manner, in hopes that one day they will be redeemed. There should also be quotes (including swear words such as, but not limited to f-bombs, coming from Vaggie, Angel Dust, and Husk) from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the human reader (you, your, etc).
